Sona Group of Companies, one of Nigeria’s biggest conglomerates has unveiled its newest member, Techblow Nigeria Limited, to cater to individuals and organisations in need of blow moulding plastic products. The company’s state of the art factory is situated at Ijako, Sango-Ota in Ogun State.
Techblow Nigeria Limited was formed from a predecessor company, Shongai Packaging Industry Limited which specialises in plastic crate production, injection moulding, crate printing and label printing. The blow moulding division of Shongai Packaging was carved out to improve on product and service delivery and to ensure business growth.
Speaking on the company, Mr. Ajai Musaddi, Director of Industries said, “The demand for blow moulding products like bottles and jerry cans for the lubricant industry has seen a very huge increase. Techblow is fully geared up to meet the demands from the lubricants companies and other manufacturing sectors such as food and pharmaceutical industries with new state of the art blow moulding machines from Europe that guarantee the production of up to 60,000 pieces of 4 litre capacity jerry cans per day.”
Techblow has recently procured four brand new machines from Uniloy, Italy to manufacture blow moulded products with each having a capacity to produce 15,000 pieces of 4 litre jerry cans per day in addition to nine other machines dedicated to the production of other blow moulding items.
Techblow’s Uniloy blow-moulding machine is the first to be deployed for production by any company in Nigeria. Its highly advanced features ensure that it runs at a fast cycle in the production of 1-5 litre jerry cans and other kinds of blow containers that are tested for quality control measures like leak proof test, deflashing and weight control system which are incorporated in the Uniloy machines.
The company produces all kinds of moulding products ranging from 500ml to 50litre plastic jerry cans, plastic coolers, cosmetic jars, pharma bottles, yoghurt bottles and other containers to cater to the needs of the food, beverages and chemicals industries and other retail sectors.
